You’d expect to find a sexy scene at a spot named for the subject of a nude painting inside. And you’d be right. A scorching hot spot since its 2015 opening, Yvonne’s inhabits the former space of fine-dining icon Locke-Ober, a men-only establishment for much of its century-and-a-half run. Both sexes now commingle over cocktails—including large-format love potions like the passionfruity Jungle Bird. These supper club- inspired digs suggest a meat market of Kobe quality.
